Tomorrow presents another opportunity for awareness, but it’s never an opportunity for the same awareness. - Rick Rubin

Analysis is a secondary function. The awareness happens first as a pure connection with the object of your attention. If something strikes me as interesting or beautiful, first I live that experience. Only afterward might I attempt to understand it.

Sometimes the most valuable touch a collaborator can have is no touch at all.

The artist actively works to experience life slowly, and then to re-experience the same thing anew. To read slowly, and to read and read again.
